Re: Samsung plasma PN51D550 "red mist" pixels

Thanks for the link. I´ll take a look.

I am in Greenville South Carolina. It is 2 hours north east of Atlanta. I´m from New york city originally, but moved here after living in Madrid for almost a decade.

Re: Samsung plasma PN51D550 "red mist" pixels

It as that dangerous even here in the USA where line voltage is only 110Volts?
If so maybe i´ll hire an electrician to come to the house and do it for me. Where I live we don´t have tv repair people.



Cheers,
Randolph

Re: Samsung plasma PN51D550 "red mist" pixels

I also need to raise my vs voltage on my samsung 51d530 plasma tv. I have a digital multimeter. I´m assuming I need to do this with the set turned on. How dangerous is it to adjust and test vs voltage with the tv on? I read on some websites that it is easy to die from electrocution while do this? Is it really that dangerous?

Re: Samsung 51d530 lava lamp problem

I noticed when this happens if a pause the video for a second and then start the video again it goes away. Strange huh. I was thinking since it not on the screen 100% of the time it could be possible the main board?

Re: Samsung 51d530 lava lamp problem

No, nothing like that. I can still watch the tv no problem. It is a only a 10% horizontal stripe from the upper right that does it. And it comes and goes. It might be there for 20 seconds, than gone for 20 seconds, then back for 20, then gone for 20. It also travels from only a small strip on the upper right to half-way into the pannel.

Re: Samsung 51d530 lava lamp problem

I tried to take a picture with my phone, but it did not show up in the pictures.

The last two days it has been more like a wide not solid flashing purple haze that flashes or shimmers that extends towards the middle of the screen and then retreats over and over again.

I'm sorry I can't explain it better.

Re: Samsung 51d530 lava lamp problem

I will try and post a picture if I can get a decent shot with my phone

Hello all,

I bought a used samsung 51D530 to replace another tv that broke. The picture looks more or less ok except for the upper right part of the screen. It has a wavy purple lava lamp effect that shimmer and waves partly into the screen towards the middle. Sometimes it is only about 10% of the way in, and sometimes it makes its way half way in toward the center. I also notice the upper right quarter of the screen sometimes seems to shimmer slightly on white backgrounds.
Could this be a bad X-main board? Could this be a bad main board? I can't seem to figure it out...
